How do we know that Jesus intercedes for us?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible assures us that Jesus intercedes for believers, as He lives forever to make intercession on our behalf (Hebrews 7:25).

Hebrews 7:25 emphasizes that Jesus Christ is able to save completely those who come to God through Him because He always lives to intercede for them. This truth demonstrates not only the power of Christ's sacrifice but also His ongoing role as our High Priest who actively mediates between us and the Father. His intercession is grounded in His eternal life, ensuring that His advocacy is perfect and continually effective.

Moreover, this intercessory work highlights the depth of Christ’s love and commitment to us as His followers. In our struggles and prayers, even when we may only groan, He understands and intercedes effectively. This assurance invites us to come boldly to the throne of grace, knowing that our Savior is engaged in representing us before the Father. It encourages us to approach Him not based on our merits but on His enduring mercy and grace.
